MMA7660FC accelerometer and Raspberry pi example

In this example we look at the MMA7660FC accelerometer connected to a Raspberry pi

The MMA7660FC is a digital output I²C, very low-power, low-profile capacitive micro-machined accelerometer featuring a low pass filter, compensation for zero-g offset and gain errors and conversion to six-bit digital values at a user configurable output data rate. The device can be used for sensor data changes, product orientation and gesture detection through an interrupt pin (INT).
